Who are Ratiobox?
Ratiobox was founded in 2016 with one goal in mind: to free snowed-under business owners from the stresses of bookkeeping and accounting, allowing them to concentrate on what matters most: achieving growth.
Our expert team of qualified account specialists – based in the East of England, London and the Midlands – work directly with companies of all sizes, ranging from sole traders to large groups.
Plus, each and every member of our team is employed directly by us, so you know you’ll be communicating directly with someone who knows and understands your firm’s finances inside out. Their efforts have been proven to save companies significant resource, no matter the industry or scale. But why not take a look at some of our case studies and see for yourself?
Why outsource?
If you have any first-hand experience of managing your company’s finances, you’ll know just how time-consuming it can be. Do you feel that time would be better spent elsewhere? Likewise, hiring a full-time internal bookkeeper or accountant is a lengthy process in itself: you have to find someone you can trust to begin with, and even when you do, you have an extra person to manage and another salary to pay.
That’s why we’re here – to eliminate all of the stress associated with bookkeeping and accounting. In outsourcing this work to us, you’ll receive an accurate, prompt and personable service from a team of UK-based specialist accountants. In short, you sacrifice nothing in terms of accuracy, but save yourself a lot of time, money and stress.

VAT Services
Are you unsure if you need to register your business for VAT? Or are you looking to set up a VAT group? We can help guide you through the process and give you the right advice.
At Ratiobox, we can aid you in meeting your VAT responsibilities. Sometimes it can be beneficial to opt for VAT schemes, because they can save you money and reduce bookkeeping procedures. Our advisors can take care of preparing your VAT return, ensuring that you return the right amount of VAT and all compliance requirements are taken care of, error-free with no penalties.
Focus on doing what you do best and leave the paperwork to us; at Ratiobox, we can take the hassle out of calculating and submitting VAT returns, so you can relax.
From 1 April 2019 Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT came into effect – and it will be mandatory to comply with the legislation come 1 April 2022, regardless of your business’ annual turnover. The significant change to the requirements means that VAT registered businesses will have to keep their records digitally and submit their VAT return through Making Tax Digital (MTD) functional compatible software. Ratiobox can help you plan and deliver for this change, with cost-effective process and software solutions.
